The world graphic is phenomenal on this watch, but I think that it lost some of the patek class when they engraved Patek Philippe and geneve on the bezel.
Vacheron Constantin just came out with this beauty at SIHH this year. I came across this in watch time. I think it is absolutely gorgeous. Plus, it's got more time zones.

I'm not much of a watch guy even if I do check this section from time to time. Anyway I stumbled upon a Glashütte watch today and I'm completely sold. Aparently it was introduced at this years Basel watch fair. I don't know the price yet and I'm not sure I want to know. All I know is I want this watch

what are everyone's thoughts on the 1957 Re-issue Speedy?
this one's local and offered at $2100, which I hope to get down a bit more still. In my search, I'm looking primarily at 1986 models (25th birthday present to myself), or vintage pre-moon landing watches, but this one just popped up and caught my interest.
I like the broad arrow hands, just not completely sure on the SS bezel... I know you guys frowned at my idea of a white faced model. There a blue faced day/date that's local as well, but to be honest, the date hand just clutters up the face too much IMHO.
Would like to hear your thoughts.
Cheers.

Next is Panerai 359 mid summer, is #3 on the list of things to get done this summer (first 2 are house releated otherwise it'd be #1). Goes with my "bastard" PAM 164. Really like the fake patina look of what is a non-classic model.

Craigger, the 3510.50 and 376.0822 are my personal favorites. When it comes to speedmasters, I prefer those with the black bezel and hardlex composite crystal. To me, these are the essentials of a true SMP.
Also, here is a guide to every watch in the Speedmaster line ever produced by Omega:
